Here in Hawaii we have many
things to be thankful for In the
first place w are thankful that we
still have George R Carter as Gov
ernor for if Vfe didnt have him
some ether State or Territory might
and we love our neighboring Com
monwealths too much to with them
to risk their boilers in the bonds of
an overstrenuous man
Moans won -everything -in tholait
general election for there is nothing
co debasing as holding offioe exoept
having too muoh money Republican
policies have driven the Islands al
most into insolvency and many of
the people almost to starvation We
all ought to feel thankful for that
and console ourselves with tho re
flection that money Is the root of
all evil
Wo feel thankful that Japanese
children are being bred by the thou
sands in the Islands for they will
have to skirmish along with others
in the years to come to pay the debt
the Government is annually sad
dling upon tho eountry In foot the
presence of these Japanese may en
able the few native and white cit
izens that aro left to move away and
throw the debt upon the shoulders
of the Mikadoites as it comes due
Is that not enough Wjth all these
blessings ought not the public heart
feel grateful But wait there is
more We are thankful that the De
mocratic party will have no hand in
the botch work to be put up by the
coming Legislature
Criminal Police
Speaking the other day of the
criminal negligence of tho Krneohe
polico officials whereby a Japanese
loot his lifo tho Governor nor the
Attorney Goneral or High Sheriff
have dono anything towards bring
ing tho officers beforo tho bar of
justice Tho negligence consisted
in having arreotsd two Japanese far
assault and battery in which one
was etobbed by tho other After tak
ing them into custody the man was
allowed to remain thoro without any
medical assistance being summoned
to render aid The officer making
the arrest being himself the jailor
failed to notify his superior so wo
are informed till finally the man
died from loss of blood on aooount
of the several wounds infiioted It
is said that had medical aid been
summoned there was a possibility
that the mans life might have been
saved
Even when death overcame the
man no physioian was summoned
But the Deputy Sheriff hurriedly
empanelled a coroners jury and an
inquest held the jury deciding that
the man died from the wounds in
fliotsd Then they buried tke man
who later on was exhumed after
being about three days in tha grate
on complaint being made by friends
There the oeso ends as far as the
public press is aware of unless the
findings are all officially pigeon
holed
But there is another case of neg
leet in the same district whioh the
public is not aware of The remains
of a man were found in a aane field
the upper part hid disapptared and
It is claimed that it was wished off
by T7atarlt might have been another
case of murder or suicide but up to
the present time nothing is known
nor has an attempt been made to
ferret out the mystery Bpth era
cases of criminal collect on tho part
of officialr but what has baeri dono
or is btiog dono to bring tha guilty
partina beforo the bar As faros
we kjovr nothing has or is being

published by tho Dtmooratio Cent

made to ferrst out thise alleged
seriouB oases the time being more
or less oeoupied with doing
ous politics This oriminality must
fall upon the head of tho Deputy
Sheriff who failed to take them up
aftor learning of them later yet
those under him may direotly be
responsible v-
There we have shown these oases
as given ua and they are for the
authorities to take up and investi
gate But when it oomes to another
offioiai accused by would be unreli
able criminals the new High Sheriff
is too ready to take it up with the
idea may be of making an example
by immediate removal jet when it
is nearer homo not a thing is done
nor an effort made to follow up
those more serious easss If it is
found when an investigation is in
stituted that these officers torn
plained of are not responsible nor
liable to prosecution we would be
only too glad to be the first to make
an amende honorable
Heros an opportunity for the
High Sheriff to display fairness and
ju8tioe and a chance for tha Gov
ernor to insist upon a thorough in-

TOPICS OF THE DAI
We understand that the quarry
men and rook crushing operators at
Alewa Quarry were treated to a feast
of pig and poi washed down by
something stronger than water
during working hours on Monday
last We would inquire of Sam John
boo whether it was a jug of jags he
oarried up to the quarry on that day
It must have been an eleotion after
math and this isjtheir reward Good I
President Fiokham miy feel fully
oompeteat to take iato his hinds
the affairs of the Board of Health
and run the entire business but he
must remember that the peopleihave
a Gay ooming and a very big say
too Tho business of the Board of
Health is most distinctively and
positively the business of the peo
pleand there need be but few seorets
in carrying itonThere are times that
cartain business of the Board may
in the publio iaternt be kept ssoret
for a wbiltj but eases of the sort
are few and far between Lt publio
business be done in the open

It is unquestionably tho duty of
the polioB authorities to enforoe the
laws as they appear on the statute
books At the same time many of
them wore passed to mot the de
mands of a particular ocension and
thnir enforcement might result in
harm rather than good at this time
But with care the High Sheriff may
be able to looate by his plan ihe
bad or obsolete laws at such a data
as tn allow tha Legislature a whack
at them
Why place police captains and
lieutenants under boodd They
dont handle money Better that the
Station House clerks and turnkeys
be plnood under bonds because they
are always handling money and are
searching tha persons of those tak
en into oustody There would be
more sonso in that than in the
former unless it is a sehemo to re
move them if they fail to raise them
or is it a money making eeheme for
soma of the surety companies in our
midst throuah offioiai initiative and
oonnivance
